The next day, Allen welcomed a special visitor. It was the owner of the Red Willow Bar, the president of the Perfume Lily Chamber of Commerce, Jessica.
Jessica was much younger than Allen had imagined, and she looked to be in her early twenties. Her long golden hair hung down from her shoulders and was tied tightly with a gem-studded pin. Her hair hung straight down like a waterfall. She wore a dark purple skirt, and a towering collared shirt was decorated with lace at the waist and cuffs. The waist was very high, and it was full of the flavor of this era. The long skirt reached the ground, and the skirt was embroidered with lily patterns, and the stamens were decorated with pearls and jade.
Her contours were deep, and coupled with her tall figure, her temperament was very outstanding. Even if she was thrown into a sea of people, someone would be able to recognize her at a glance. But there was always a smile on her face, which obscured the sharpness engraved on her face, and made her look approachable.
As one of the most influential people in Purple Roland Harbor, Jessica's visit this time was surprisingly simple. A carriage stopped outside the house, and there were only two well-built guards following her into the courtyard.
Allen was also very surprised when he heard the news of her visit. He received the young female councilor in the hall that had just been decorated. When she saw Allen, Jessica's eyes also moved slightly, and she said: "Mr. Allen is younger than I thought."
"The same goes for Lady Jessica."
Jessica said indifferently: "My father was originally in the prime of his life, but unfortunately contracted a bad disease and died. Under me, there is still a younger brother. Unfortunately, he was too young at that time, and only I, the eldest sister, stood up to inherit my father's business. Although I have been supported by the elders of the family all these years, and can squeeze a woman into your man's world, how can the word 'hard' be used to describe it? Therefore, I have no choice but to do this. "
Allen was moved: "Miss Jessica actually has such an experience. From this, it can be seen that Miss is indeed outstanding."
"Mr. Allen is flattering me." Jessica said again: "Today, the main purpose of my visit is to apologize. Mr. Allen was attacked last night in a bar owned by our Chamber of Commerce. We are responsible for this. Therefore, we will pursue this matter to the end and help Mr. Allen at the same time. "
"Then, Miss Jessica, do you have any idea who the culprit is?"
"Not at the moment. However, what we can be sure of is that the other party should view our Chamber of Commerce as an enemy. The attack last night was a despicable act that killed two birds with one stone. " JESSICA's beautiful eyes flashed as she said, "Our Chamber of Commerce has taken root here for a long time. Just like the name of this bar, Red Willow, we have firmly rooted our roots in this land. In the Purple Roland Harbor, my family has over a hundred years of history. The people and things in this city are more or less related to us. Therefore, no matter if it's the Chamber of Commerce, bars, or even other industries, it's rare for something like last night to happen. "
Allen nodded. Jessica's meaning was clear. Her family already had some history in this city, and their relationship with the various forces in the city was also intertwined. Under such circumstances, basically no one would cause trouble in the Lily Chamber of Commerce. The attack on the Red Willow Bar last night was not only aimed at Allen, it was also aimed at the Lily Chamber of Commerce.
Imagine an attack on a bar run by an influential Chamber of Commerce. This was undoubtedly a big slap in the face to the Chamber of Commerce. If jESSICA didn't handle it well, it would even cause her partners in the Chamber of Commerce to question her ability as a young head of the family. That was why jESSICA said that she could kill two birds with one stone.
"We will continue to investigate the identity of the assailant. At this moment, please allow us to make appropriate compensation. "jESSICA smiled and said," I heard that Mr. Allen has brought a batch of cloth with him this time? Our Lily Chamber of Commerce is engaged in textiles, handicrafts, and spices. Perhaps we can work together for a long time in textiles. "
Allen was greatly surprised. If he could cooperate with the Lily Chamber of Commerce, then the cloth produced in Sur City would not have to worry about not having a market in the future. Of course, Allen wouldn't let go of such a good thing. He immediately called Sean and accompanied jESSICA to the warehouse to see the goods.
"Are these produced by you?"
In the warehouse, jESSICA put a piece of cut cotton cloth under the light to observe, "The needle is very fine and regular. Manual workshops can't produce such cloth. With all due respect, Mr. Allen, is it difficult for you to use a machine production line? "
This time, it was Allen who was surprised. Seeing his expression, jESSICA said, "I actually guessed correctly."
She said happily, "I didn't expect you to have such technology. Heavens. Mr. Allen may not know that fabrics produced by machines like this are only popular in a few cities in the hinterland of the empire. It is true that fabrics produced by machines lack the spirituality of hand-woven fabrics, but they are more stable and efficient. "
"Many clothing manufacturers prefer to use this kind of mechanized product, which can ensure that every piece of ready-made clothing they produce is of the same quality, unlike hand-made textiles that are uneven and have a very high rate of defective products." JESSICA patted one of the original cloths and said, "Looks like we can sign a long-term cooperation agreement. I wonder if Mr. Allen is interested?"
"I can't ask for more." Allen smiled.
After leaving the warehouse, Allen introduced Sean to jESSICA and told her that Sean was Sur City's agent in the future. JESSICA also said that she would send a representative of the Chamber of Commerce to contact Sean tomorrow at the latest. Thus, the cooperation with the Lily Chamber of Commerce was finalized. All that was missing was a contract.
When jESSICA got into the carriage, the councilwoman stuck her head out of the window and said, "Mr. Allen, although we haven't finalized the identity of the assailant. But I can give you a purely personal hint. "
"I'd like to hear the details." Allen said seriously.
"Dick, Storm City, Roger." JESSICA blinked her eyes and said with a mischievous expression, "That's all I can say. As for what Mr. Allen thinks, it's none of my business."
As the carriage gradually drove away, Allen stood for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "Let's go."
When he returned to the hall, he saw Wilick standing by the door in a daze. Allen waved his hand in front of his eyes and said, "Are you sick?"
"I'm in love." '"Boss, who was that woman just now? She's practically the girl of my dreams. "
Allen laughed and said, "You like jESSICA? This is the first time you've seen her, right? "
"Don't you know that there's something called love at first sight in this world?" "So her name is jESSICA," said William. "What a wonderful name."
"Don't be infatuated. I have something serious to say." Allen shook his head and said, "Go get Regis and Adele."
A moment later, everyone gathered in the hall. Allen said, "Everyone, Miss jESSICA, who just visited us, left us a very important hint."
"What hint?" Asked Adele.
"Dick, Storm City, Roger." Allen crossed his chest and said, "It's conceivable that the three of them should be related to each other." This also solved many questions. On the way to Purple Roland Harbor, I was thinking that Storm City's caravan also had to pass through the Bloodstone Wilderness. Why did their caravan rarely hear rumors of being robbed? At first, I only thought that Storm City was escorted by the army of Storm City. Now, it seems that Storm City and Dick's father's bandits are colluding with each other. "
"In that case, we were attacked by Dick's men. I'm afraid it was also a good thing for Storm City?" Sean said.
Allen nodded and said, "Remember the friction between us and the Storm City soldiers at the Wind Erosion Canyon checkpoint? At that time, I was already prepared to take action, but their commanding officer unexpectedly let us pass. It should be because they didn't have the confidence to keep us, so they simply handed us over to Dick to deal with. "
"And Roger, his representative's attitude was very strange yesterday. If Roger's Chamber of Commerce is cooperating with Storm City, then this attitude is understandable. "Allen said," The important thing is that we were attacked as soon as Roger's representative left. Obviously, the other party didn't want to drag Roger's men into the water, so it was obvious. Even if these killers weren't Roger's men, they were related to Roger. "
"In that case, Miss Jessica should have already guessed that Roger did it. Why did she say that there were no clues?" Sean was puzzled.
"It's very simple. After all, Roger is also one of the senators. Without concrete evidence, Jessica doesn't have to fall out with Roger. " At this point, Allen smiled and said, "There are too many relationships between people in this city, and it is also too complicated. It's inevitable that there are some things that can't be put on the table, but we're different. We've just arrived here. Whether it's for us or for this city, the relationship between us is still very simple. There's no need to think too much about gains and losses. "
"Jessica probably gave me this hint to let us settle the score with Roger ourselves. In this way, she will help us and teach Roger a lesson without damaging the friendship between the two sides. This is three birds with one stone. This Jessica is indeed not simple. "Allen looked at William and smiled," Even so, do you like her? William, I'm worried that you've been sold and you're still in the dark. "
William snorted, "I'll move her with true love."
Adele and Regis grimaced at the same time, and William glared at them. Allen waved his hand and said, "Alright, now that the opponent is obvious, it's time to counterattack."
Said Adele, "Are you going to deal with Roger? I don't think it's appropriate. You know you're being used by that woman Jessica, but you still … "
"It doesn't matter, Adele." Allen smiled and said, "As I said just now, as newcomers to this city, we haven't been restricted by too many relationships. So taking advantage of this time to open up the situation and let others see our strength and determination will be beneficial to our future development in this city. "
"Besides, how can merchants not be used? She used me this time, and I'll use her next time. "Allen looked at William meaningfully and smiled," And we still have a trump card. "
William broke out in cold sweat. "Boss, don't look at me like that!"
